[QUOTE="flyin lizard, post: 412288, member: 10378"] Hey Matt, I will add my 2 cents worth as I too have resently gotten into this long range stuff. IT'S a BLAST to hit what you aim at when it is 5,6,7 and more football fields away. Your browning will do fine up until you decide that you need something else. The 300wsm is a real nice place to start, I am very happy with mine. As said earlier if you can get better optics do it, buy the very best that you can afford as they can be switched to the next rifle when the time comes. I have a Vortex Viper 6 x 20 x 44 and it performs very well for the 399.00 it cost me. A bedding job will probably help too and it is something that you can do yourself, just do a search and stuff should pop up. I sighted in to point of aim at 200 yards and then back off in 100 yd. increments. Shoot and record the number of come up clicks needed to get you back on poa. Try to have similar conditions for every shot. Also record weather at the time ,temp, humidity, pressure ,wind. All this shooting and writting is getting you acquianted with your rifle and what it/you are capable of. Get a bi-pod and watch your groups tighten, I believe they sell some here in the gear store , have the caldwell on mine and so far am very happy with it. Well it looks like my 2 cents stretched to a nickel but keep shooting and have fun.. Paul [/QUOTE]
